The Anthony R. East Classic Motorcycle Collection1938 Triumph 498cc Speed TwinRegistration no. BCR 960Frame no. TH.4200Engine no. 8-5T 9338•Important landmark of motorcycle design•Acquired by Tony East in February 1996•Restored condition•Last taxed in July 2015Although Edward Turner's Triumph Speed Twin caused a sensation when it appeared at the 1937 Motorcycle Show, few of its admirers can have guessed how influential the design would prove to be. True, there had been vertical twins before; indeed, Turner's predecessor at Triumph - Val Page - had designed one a few years previously, but Triumph's newcomer established a formula that would be adopted by all of Britain's major motorcycle manufacturers in the succeeding decade. Light, narrow and from certain angles looking just like a twin-port single, it was just what the conservatively minded motorcycling public wanted and the Speed Twin would prove enormously successful. Performance was exemplary for a road-going 500, around 85mph being attainable by the Speed Twin while the Tiger 100 sports version was even faster, being capable of touching 100mph in road trim and exceeding it with the silencer end-caps removed. When production resumed in 1946, the Speed Twin reappeared with telescopic forks in place of the original girders, and separate dynamo and magneto instead of the pre-war version's magdyno. This pre-war Speed Twin comes with a continuation buff logbook dating from 1946 describing it as a '5T Special Twin' and listing five recorded keepers, the last of whom, a Mr Kirby of Staines, sold the machine to Tony East in February 1996. Restored throughout, The Triumph has been ridden extensively throughout France and Germany and currently displays a total of 1,859 miles on the odometer. In 2007 the Triumph took part in the VMCC Isle of Man TT re-enactment, being ridden by Mick Grant, the bike 'never missed a beat'. Last taxed until July 2015, the accompanying paperwork includes a 1939 replacement parts catalogue; instruction manual; the original 1938 tax disc and others, mainly from the 1940s; a quantity of restoration invoices dating from 1996; old/current V5/V5C documents; some expired MoTs; and restorer Bryan Small's invoice for £6,819.Footnotes:All lots are sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness and originality prior to bidding.Lot to be sold without reserve.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

c.1924 BSA 349cc Side Valve ModelRegistration no. not registeredFrame no. unable to locateEngine no. F10306The Birmingham Small Arms Company first experimented with powered two-wheelers in the latter years of the 19th Century and then again in 1905. These first motorcycles made by BSA used proprietary engines such as the Belgian Minerva, and it was not until 1910 that the firm introduced a BSA designed and built machine. Introduced in November 1922, the Model L, as it would come to be known, is noteworthy as BSA's first production motorcycle to have overhead valves. Complementing this new 349cc sports model was an otherwise similar sidevalve version sharing essentially the same cycle parts. 'To the sporting solo rider who asks for a 'go anywhere' mount, its records in the Scottish Six Days' Trial and the International Trials in Sweden in 1923 stand as recommendation,' declared Pitman's Book of the BSA, reviewing the sidevalve version of the Model L.The vendor's late father, the noted collector Ken Senior, purchased this BSA at Bonhams' Harrogate Sale in November 2008 (Lot 442). Apparently complete, the machine appears to be an older restoration; however, its mechanical condition is not known and thus it is sold strictly as viewed. In the absence of a frame number, it has not proved possible precisely to determine the year of manufacture. There are no documents with this Lot.Footnotes:All lots are sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness and originality prior to bidding.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

The Anthony R. East Classic Motorcycle Collection1938 Triumph 249cc Tiger 70Registration no. VFO 672Frame no. TL4817Engine no. 8-T70-7857• Acquired by Tony East in 1999• Restored by Bryan Small circle 1999• Invoices totalling £6,050Just as he had done at Ariel in the 1920s, Val Page transformed his employer's ageing range on his arrival as Triumph's Chief Designer in 1932. The new line-up comprised overhead-valve and sidevalve singles in capacities ranging from 250cc to 500cc, plus the range-topping 650cc 6/1 sidecar tug. Edward Turner's arrival at Triumph in 1936 resulted in extensive improvements to the range. A brilliant stylist, Turner transformed Page's overhead-valve singles by adopting sports-specification engines, high level exhausts, chromed fuel tanks and a new name: 'Tiger'. Frames, forks, engines and gearboxes were all improved for 1937 and a trio of randomly selected Tigers successfully completed a series of arduous speed trails to secure the Maudes Trophy for Triumph later in the year. Today, Turner's Tigers are widely recognised as the most stylish sports roadsters of the period and thus are highly sought after. This nicely presented Tiger 70 was acquired by Tony East in April 1999 and last taxed in 2010. Accompanying paperwork includes numerous bills totalling £6,050 for the Tiger's restoration by Bryan Small Motorcycles circa 1999; three old MoTs (most recent expired 2010); instruction books; replacement parts catalogue; old/current V5C documents; and a copy of Triumph Motorcycles Practical Guide Covering All Models from 1937 by the Service Manager at Triumph. It should be noted that the frame/engine numbers are transposed on the V5Cs, and that the latter is incorrectly recorded therein as '8-TY0-785Y'.Footnotes:All lots are sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness and originality prior to bidding.Lot to be sold without reserve.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

The Anthony R. East Classic Motorcycle Collection1953 Excelsior 243cc Talisman Twin TT1Registration no. PMN 450 (Isle of Man)Frame no. XTS/3971Engine no. 5585Villiers' introduction of the 2T 250cc twin-cylinder engine in 1956 gave many independent manufacturers the opportunity to add a sporting '250' to the range. Before then, though, Excelsior had gone down the same route with their Talisman twin. A new introduction for 1950, the latter was joined by a twin-carburettor Sports (STT1) version in 1952. The early Talisman used a plunger-suspended frame before a more modern swinging-arm version arrived for 1954. An unusual feature of the Talisman was its dual seat (if so equipped), which featured downward extensions that acted as passenger knee grips. A '350' version was added to the range for 1957 and both Talismans remained in production until the end of 1962, by which time Excelsior was on the point of collapse. First registered in the UK as 'KHR 735', this Talisman comes with an old-style Isle of Man logbook recording the date of first registration there as February 2005. An older restoration, the machine was last taxed to 31st January 2011 and was showing 33,398 recorded miles at time of cataloguing. Additional documentation includes a current IoM registration certificate; photocopied literature; invoices for various parts; photocopy sales literature; and a quantity of operating, maintenance and instruction manuals.Footnotes:If purchased by a UK resident, this machine will be subject to a NOVA Declaration, which Bonhams will undertake at no cost to the buyer.

1943 Ariel 347cc W/NG Ex-WDRegistration no. not registeredFrame no. XG 42472Engine no. BH 35914The machines which the MoD considered to be most effective for wartime work tended to be 500cc side-valves, such as BSA's M20 and Norton's 16H, or 350cc overhead-valves such as the Matchless G3L or Ariel W/NG. The WD Ariels were an adaptation of their pre-war trials bikes, and many were used post-war for this purpose. Indeed, this W/NG sports a racing number and open pipe, suggesting that it may have seen some sporting use post-war. Acquired by the vendor in 2008, this W/NG is effectively in 'barn find' condition and in need of restoration, being sold strictly as viewed, although the vendor advises that the engine turns over, and the magneto and carburettor have been cleaned this year. The only documentation with this machine is a dating certificate from the Ariel owners club.

C200E-47448Introduced in 1958, Honda's classic C100 Super Cub 'step-thru' moped gave millions the world over their first taste of two-wheeled mobility. Larger-engined versions of the original 50cc Cub were soon made available alongside sports models that were proper small motorcycles. The first nominally 90cc sports model, the C200, arrived in 1963 boasting an overhead-valve engine of 86.7cc that produced 6.5bhp at 8,000rpm. Its cycle parts were typically Honda, consisting of a pressed steel spine frame with swinging-arm rear suspension and leading-link front fork. The C200 lasted in production until 1967, latterly alongside the overhead-camshaft CS90. This Honda C200 comes with a Honda range brochure and numerous invoices totalling almost £6,000 relating to its restoration circa 2020, many issued by marque specialists David Silver Spares. There is no registration document with this Lot but the machine is on the HPI database, which records the last change of ownership as 21st August 1987.

The Anthony R. East Classic Motorcycle Collection1958 Ariel 650cc Model FH Huntmaster & Garrard SidecarRegistration no. VXW 187Frame no. CAPR13264Engine no. CNLM5885 (see text)• Acquired by Tony East in 1993• An older restoration• One of Tony's favouritesFollowing Ariel's acquisition by the BSA Group in 1951, an exercise in 'badge engineering' a few years later saw the launch of a new model - the Huntmaster - which deployed the 650cc twin-cylinder engine of the BSA A10 in Ariel's new swinging-arm frame. In Ariel guise the power unit differed only in detail, its origins being disguised beneath a reshaped timing cover, while on the primary drive side Ariel's traditional dry clutch was retained. 'High performance combined with remarkable tractability and notable fuel economy: first-class steering and braking' was how Motor Cycle magazine summarised the Huntmaster's virtues in December 1955. The factory claimed a top speed of 90-95mph with fuel consumption of 65-70mpg when cruising at 45mph. Announced in October 1953 as a new-for-1954 model, the Huntmaster disappeared along with the rest of Ariel's four-stroke models in 1959. Dating from the penultimate year of production and attached to a Garrard Grand Prix single-seater sports sidecar, this stunning motorcycle combination was acquired by Tony East in 1993. It was last taxed in 2013 and currently displays a total of 912 miles on the odometer. In 2006 Tony's restored Huntmaster outfit was treated to a glowing road test report by Richard Rosenthal in The Classic MotorCycle's November edition. A copy of the aforementioned article is on file and the machine also comes with some old MoTs (most recent expired 2013); a quantity of invoices dating from 1994/1995; an original Ariel owner's guide; old/current V5C documents; and a quantity of invoices relating to its restoration by Bryan Small Motorcycles totalling £5,839, plus £729 for an engine rebuild. Invoices relating to the Garrard's restoration total £2,190. It should be noted that the V5C records the engine number as 'CNLF5885'.Footnotes:All lots are sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness and originality prior to bidding.Lot to be sold without reserve.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

AJS - Matchless 249cc ProjectRegistration no. not registeredFrame no. 18990Engine no. 62CSR/12595Associated Motor Cycles returned to the 250cc class in 1958 with a brace of all-new models. Shared by the AJS Model 14 and Matchless G2, the four-stroke, overhead-valve power unit incorporated its oil tank within the crankcase and appeared to be of unit construction, although a separate gearbox was retained. Super sports 'CSR' roadsters arrived in 1962, by which time there was already a 'CS' scrambler in the range. Despite wearing an AJS tank it has not been possible to positively identify the manufacture of this machine's frame, which is fitted with a 1962 Matchless G2 CSR engine. Accordingly, prospective bidders must satisfy themselves as to the composition, age, manufacture and compatibility of the component parts prior to bidding. Offered strictly as seen, the odometer displays 5,369 miles (not warranted).

The Anthony R. East Classic Motorcycle Collection1964 Ariel 247cc Arrow Super SportsRegistration no. AJN 69B (see text)Frame no. T32871/GEngine no. T32871/GThe Ariel Leader, and its sports derivative, the Arrow, sought to combine the virtues of speed and agility with those of cleanliness and convenience. Launched in 1958 and powered by an all-new 247cc air-cooled two-stroke twin with unit gearbox, the Leader also broke with British tradition in its frame and suspension design, employing a fabricated-steel beam instead of tubes, and a trailing-link front fork. Announced in 1959, the Arrow dispensed with the Leader's enclosure panels and weather protection while remaining mechanically virtually identical. The Arrow was revised for 1961, gaining squish-band, centre-plug cylinder heads, while a third model - the Arrow Super Sports, universally referred to as the Golden Arrow after its distinctive colour scheme - was added at the same time.According to Draganfly Motorcycles' dating certificate, 'T32871/G' is a genuine Super Sports model dispatched to Belle Vue Motors Limited in Southend-on-Sea on 2nd September 1963. The Arrow appears not to have been registered until 15th June 1964. The machine comes with the following: a quantity of bills, apparently relating to its restoration circa 1995/1996 while in previous ownership; a rare original workshop manual and owner's guide; continuation logbook from 1965 recording matching numbers; some expired MoTs; and a quantity of miscellaneous paperwork. A total of 567 miles is displayed on the odometer. There is no registration document with this Lot, and the HPI database records the vehicle as unidentified.

1966 Panther 325cc Model 50 Grand SportsRegistration no. HJG 714DFrame no. 98350GEngine no. 053D864Originally registered in 1966, this Model 50 Grand Sports is one of only 237 ever sold and has had only four owners from new. The 325cc Villiers 3T-engined Model 50 was P&M's attempt at a faster middleweight, with more pulling power. It has the heavyweight forks, plus 8' brakes front and rear, and originally had a unique valanced front mudguard and 'parrot's beak' rear enclosure. These machines were never common and this is one of very few survivors. This example was only on the road for two years initially before serious fork judder caused by pitted head bearings forced it off the road, hence the believed genuine 7,100 miles on the odometer. Our vendor bought the Panther in 1995 as a wreck with a seized engine and no rear fairing or front mudguard. He originally intended to restore to 'as built' specification but decided that, as it would be nigh on impossible to get a replacement front mudguard, he would mildly customise it in the style of the Model 35 Sports. The Panther is now very nicely restored including a total respray in Model 45 red. The engine has been rebuilt by Villiers Services (including, recently, new crankshaft seals and re-magnetised flywheel ) and the wheels rebuilt with stainless spokes and new tyres. MoT'd recently, even though no longer a requirement, this ultra-rare Panther 'stroker' is offered with a comprehensive history file.Footnotes:All lots are sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness and originality prior to bidding.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

1954 BSA 499cc Gold StarRegistration no. 306 XVCFrame no. CB32 1561Engine no. DBD34 4871 (see text)• Restored in the 2010s• Dry stored since 2018• Requires recommissioningOn Wednesday 30th June 1937, a specially prepared Empire Star 500 ridden by the great Wal Handley achieved a 100mph lap of the Brooklands circuit on its way to a debut race victory and award of the 'Gold Star' that would give BSA's new super sports model its evocative name. Possibly the most successful production racing motorcycle ever, the post-war Gold Star formed the mainstay of clubman's racing in the 1950s. In fact, it was the model's domination of the Isle of Man Clubman's TT which led to the event being dropped after Gold Star rider Bernard Codd's 1956 Senior/Junior double victory. While its trials and scrambles derivatives demonstrated the design's versatility by chalking up an equally impressive record in off-road competition, for the majority of enthusiasts the 500cc DBD34 in Clubman's trim is the epitome of the 'Goldie'. The DBD, the ultimate road going 500 Gold Star, appeared in 1956 when the famous RRT2 close-ratio gearbox and 190mm front brake became standard equipment. From then on BSA's perennially popular sporting single changed little until its much-lamented demise in 1963. Today, the Gold Star remains one of the most highly sought after of post-war British motorcycles and is supported by a most enthusiastic owners' club.Delivered new on 31st December 1954, this Gold Star left the factory as a CB34 in Clubman's trim, and has since been upgraded with a believed DBD34 engine (please note it has a non-factory restamped number). The Goldie was purchased by the lady vendor's late husband some time after 2007 and restored over the following years (there are various bills of file dating from 2013/2014). Notable features include a Lyta alloy fuel tank, Magura control levers; double-sided 4LS front brake; alloy fork yokes; clip-on 'bars; rear-set footrests; alloy wheel rims; and an Amal GP carburettor. Not used and dry stored since 2018, the Goldie will require recommissioning before further use. Cleaning and polishing should reward the new owner with a very tidy machine. Accompanying paperwork consists of a dating certificate; DVLA correspondence; a current V5C; and the aforementioned bills.Footnotes:All lots are sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness and originality prior to bidding.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

The Anthony R. East Classic Motorcycle Collection; Formerly the property of O B ('Bert') Greeves, MBE1963 Greeves 246cc 24DDS Sports Single PrototypeRegistration no. 901 JOOFrame no. 24DDS101Engine no. 085E WN6• The sole 24DDS prototype made• Kept by Bert Greeves until 1993• Known ownership history• Restored on the 2000s• Acquired by Tony East in 2007Greeves' unorthodox trademarks of a cast beam 'down-tube' and rubber-in-torsion leading-link fork proved adaptable to almost all forms of motorcycle from humble commuter to clubman's road-racer, but it was the firm's off-road products which really put it on the map, generating valuable publicity that helped sell the roadsters. Offered here is a Greeves Sports Single variant that never made it into production: the 24DDS. Intended as a 100mph 250cc roadster, and built in the competitions department, the 24DDS was powered by a Villiers 36A-based engine fitted with Greeves' own Challenger competition top-end, also used in its scrambles models and the Silverstone road-racer. The frame used the Silverstone main beam and the steering angle was improved by a straight top-tube, while competition-type strengthening gussets were fitted to the leading-link front suspension. Unfortunately, the model was judged too expensive to be a success, and production never got beyond this solitary prototype. First registered to Greeves' parent company Invacar Ltd on 5th April 1963, this prototype is the only example made and was later registered to 'O B Greeves MBE' (see the original old-style buff logbook and copy old V5 on file). It is believed that Bert's nephew had an accident on the machine which damaged the front wheel, and it was then repaired and laid up until Bert's death in 1993, aged 87. At this point the 24DDS was inherited by Greeves authority Andrew King, who kept the machine in storage until it was purchased in 2002 by Graham Mitchell. Graham restored the Greeves and then sold it on to the immediately preceding owner, David Pink.Tony East acquired the ex-Bert Greeves 24DDS at a UK auction in November 2007. In 2010 the machine was featured in an article in The Classic MotorCycle by Richard Rosenthal (January edition). A partial copy of the article is on file and this unique piece of Greeves' history also comes with a copy of the works record; five MoTs (most recent expired 2011); and old/current V5C Registration Certificates. A framed display board of the aforementioned logbook copies, ownership history and specifications is included in the sale.Footnotes:All lots are sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness and originality prior to bidding.Lot to be sold without reserve.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

1947 Scott 596cc Flying SquirrelRegistration no. JGO 213Frame no. 4804Engine no. DPY 4899Introduced in 1925, Scott's Flying Squirrel sports roadster came in 498cc and 596cc capacities, the latter being the most expensive in the range. Subsequent improvements included the duplex frame and bigger brakes first seen on the works bikes in 1926, and the magneto-platform Pilgrim pump adopted for the 1927 TT machines. The Flying Squirrel took on more of a touring role in the 1930s, being further updated with a detachable cylinder head, Brampton forks, and a foot-change gearbox. The Flying Squirrel was little changed when production resumed in 1946, although the double-sided front brake was a new feature and the pre-war girders were soon replaced with a Dowty telescopic fork. First registered on 1st June 1947, this Scott Flying Squirrel has belonged to the current vendor since 2000 and has been ridden regularly on VMCC rallies, winning numerous awards. The engine has been upgraded with a CNC-machined Pilgrim-type pump to the drippers and runs on Silkoline Comp 2 two-stroke oil at a ratio of 50:1. Seals are all synthetic by Ian Pearce, and the magneto has been rebuilt. The machine is offered with a V5C Registration Certificate.Footnotes:All lots are sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness and originality prior to bidding.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

The 20DB Sports Single was one of four roadsters in Greeves' 1961 line-up and was powered by the four-speed Villiers 9E engine, which had first featured in the 1956 range powering the preceding D model, the Fleetstar. The model designation changed to 20DC for 1962 and the Sports Single continued in this guise until production ceased at the end of 1966, by which time it was one of only two roadsters left in the range, the other being the 25DC East Coaster twin. From 1967 onwards it would be competition machines only. First registered on 25th January 1966, this late Greeves Sports Single was acquired by Tony East in June 2012. Restored throughout, the machine comes with a V5C document and an undated sheet of hand-written notes detailing its restoration.

The Anthony R. East Classic Motorcycle Collectionc.1932 Triumph 494cc Silent Scout Model BRegistration no. CWP 821Frame no. K1574Engine no. K1582 DWA• Built for three years only• Purchased by Tony East in 2001• Fully restored• Only four miles since completionTriumph's two 'Silent Scout' models were newly introduced in March 1932: the 549cc Mode A sidevalve and the Model B with a 493cc overhead-valve engine, both of had cylinders inclined forwards in the fashionable 'Sloper' manner. As its name suggests, the Val Page-designed Silent Scout was intended to be relatively quiet; pushrods were enclosed and harmonic cams fitted, and the machine could be supplied with optional enclosure panels that shrouded the engine and gearbox. A Model BS sports version joined the range in 1933. Unfortunately, for Triumph, the Silent Scout was far to expensive to make and would prove to be short-lived, the Model A disappearing from the line-up at the end of the 1933 and the B Models at the end of 1934. Very few were sold, with some being exported to Europe and Iceland. There's no denying, though, that the sporting Model B, as seen here, was one exceedingly handsome motorcycle. Notable features include a twin-port cylinder head, oil tank in crankcase, exposed valve springs, and a four-speed hand-change gearbox. Produced for only three years, the Silent Scout is one of the rarest of pre-war Triumphs and highly sought-after by serious Triumph collectors. One of only eight known to survive, this overhead-valve Model B was purchased by Tony East from a Yorkshire dealer in 2001 in a poor state and fully restored to 'as new' condition, with paintwork by Allan Templeton. Interestingly, the instruments set in the top of the tank include a rubber oil pressure gauge, not the usual dial - the rubber gauge pops up and stands proud when the correct oil pressure has been reached! Only four shake-down miles have been covered since restoration. Accompanying paperwork includes a Silent Scout parts catalogue; BMS photocopied Triumph Silent Scout spare parts list and workshop manual; and a current V5C document. A very rare motorcycle - you will struggle to find another one.Footnotes:All lots are sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness and originality prior to bidding.Lot to be sold without reserve.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Alfred Eisenstaedt was a German-born American photographer, widely known for his career as a photojournalist and his contributions to the field of documentary photography. He was born on December 6, 1898, in Dirschau, West Prussia (now Tczew, Poland), and passed away on August 23, 1995, in Oak Bluffs, Massachusetts. Eisenstaedt began his photography career in the 1920s and gained prominence while working for various magazines, most notably as a staff photographer for Life magazine. He covered a wide range of subjects, including politics, sports, entertainment, and everyday life. Eisenstaedt's photographs often captured candid and intimate moments, reflecting the human experience with sensitivity and empathy.
